Can't we all just be outlaws
If the telecoms and the president and all his men and women can break laws with impunity, why should we worry about following the laws of the land. When the justice department cannot be bothered to uphold the law why should we bother any other piddley law. Let's just all be outlaws.

I'm beyond angry.

I am done with this nonsense.

3. Move to Germany.
:hi: Seriously, though, I am SICK of this. Sick of these crooks getting away with so much terrible stuff. Worried that getting out in August won't be soon enough. /sigh

4. Well, you too can enjoy such immunity
Simply purchase a senator at any of the convenient local office in your state.

18. With Democratic senators
all you have to do is accuse them of being weak on national security and they cave immediately.

8. You have a billion dollars to bribe the senators? No? Then you are under the law, not above it.
That's the message America is sending to us all and the world. With enough money, you don't need to commit the perfect crime with no evidence left behind to get away. You just have to grease the right wheels to get off.

11. they've broken their end of the social contract so let loose
Lie, cheat, steal, and beat up anyone smaller than yourself- that's the government's mantra.

12. And one of Bush's 'legal' geniuses said that 'There's nothing in the Constitution that says a
president must obey the law." I say, "There's nothing in the Constitution that says xxxxx xxxxxx (add your name here) has to obey the law either." So I agree with you. If there's no rule of law for some, there's none for any.

15. Anybody know how
to build a guillotine?
We might as well start chopping off corporate heads if there is a two tiered law now, There will be no justice. With immunity from accountability and lawlessness for the rich and fascism/feudalism for the rest of us, that, is going too far..CONSUME the Rich!!

17. And revolutions are begun
when the the low classes have been trod on for too long. I'm sure my name is on a list now, but I don't give a flying rat's ass.


Oh, I'll go about this is perfectly legal ways, but those who hold office had better be warned, the hammer of justice is going to rain down on their heads before long.
